This is why most desktops and servers are comparably much less secure. Check why Qubes OS was developed. | |||||||||||||||||

In practice, desktops and servers are quiet secure because you don't need to download random closed-source firmware and apps to use your device. iOS and Android are a security nightmare. Downloading a random-ass executable to pay for parking is asking for trouble. Relying on millions of lines of proprietary Google code that you-don't-know-what-it-does is asking for trouble. This code could have, and almost certainly does have, spyware, keyloggers, and various other forms of malware. You're simply trusting that it doesn't, because it's unverifiable. And this doesn't even TOUCH on all the vulnerabilities associated with cellular networks, the baseband, SS7, etc. Good luck auditing that code. At least on a server I can have some baseline guarantees about what software I'm running and what it's doing. Whereas on a phone, your location could constantly be triangulated, your phone identity spoofed, your cellular traffic sniffed, and on and on and you'd never know. I mean, just this week we saw a post on here about ICE using fake cell towers to identify protestors. That shit is truly trivial to do, and people have been doing it for almost two decades. You wanna talk CVE? Start with that. | |||||||||||||||||
